The UFO.

Along an almost endless road at dusk
Drove a couple homeward bound
They’d been to visit some old friends
Like most people they had found
It’s always harder to say good bye
And easier to say hello
Which meant that now they were quite late
Not a time for going slow
Barney with his foot well down
Hummed a tune on the radio
Whilst Betty looking at her watch
Said it’s twelve o’clock you know
Then all at once a brilliant light
Flashed right across the sky
Betty said what the hell is that”
She thought her end was nigh
Barney said “O’ jesus christ
That was mighty low”
“I’ve never seen anything like that before
Is it friend or foe”
“Friend or foe nothing” said Betty
as she watched it spin and glow
“I don’t know what you’d call it
it’s a goddam U.F.O.
anxiously they watched it hover
above them in the sky
barney said “it’s so damm hot
much hotter and we’l fry”
and as they watched the road ahead
they found to their dismay
the U.F.O had landed
as their engine died away
Barney set off running
Towards the U. F.O.
And Betty screamed at Barney
“Barney please don’t go”
the next thing they remembered
it was almost half past one
they were absolutly baffled
where the hour had gone
how they resumed their journey
they both seemed much in doubt
what happened in that missing hour
they may never find that out.

    Fun read

    Like Moulder, I want to believe, but don't want to believe at the same time. Something I'd have to see. Missing hours of time is something that frightens me in a primal way.

      Many Thanks for your kind comments on "The U.F.O." I would like to point out that it was a true story. Betty and Barny
      Hill two americans were involved in this frightening
      episode.The were later hypnoticly regressed by a medical
      hypnotist and revealed that they had been medically
      examined by aliens aboard the craft and had puncture marks
      on their bodies to substantiate their story.
      just thought you'd like to know.Best Wishes George ++++

    I only had one issue with this poem. I'm not a fan of cussing and taking the Lord's name in vain...but that's my own personal opinion.

    Other than that it's a bizzare tale that's truly everyone's nitemare! I'd hate to wake up and have whole hours missing from my life that I can only guess at aliens being in some way responsible for. Your tale kept me reading to the end and setting aside the cussing and that, it was well written.

    Thank you for entering my contest!

    An enjoyable piece of poetry, a good classic science fiction theme with your story/poem. I have never been abducted but I have seen a few Klingons! A good poem.

      Many thanks

      many thanks for reading my UFO poem
      it was based on a true incident in New England U.SA.Betty and Barney Hill were the
      participants they were subsequently examined
      under hypnosis they had been subjected to a number of weird medical "proceedures" by the"Klingons" who actually left scars on their bodies. Glad you liked the poem,best wishes JUDMC(George).must read one of your down to earth poems,keep writing
